About Us

In June 2014, Dr. Shawn Costello and Dr. Shannon Moore purchased Hartland Veterinary Clinic to provide exceptional care and veterinary services to all of their patients. Our staff is truly dedicated to our patients and will do everything in our power to ensure they lead a long and happy life, including following up with them to see how they are doing after check-ups and procedures.

Dr. Shannon Moore grew up in Woodstock, IL and started working for Dr. Shawn Costello and Dr. Charles Svoboda when she was 16 at Harvard Veterinary Clinic. She decided to become a veterinarian after the encouragement of Dr. Shawn and Dr. Chuck. She received her undergraduate degree in 2007 and graduated with her veterinary degree in 2011 from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. It was truly a dream come true when she had the opportunity to purchase Hartland Veterinary Clinic in 2014 with Dr Shawn and Dr.Chuck. She has a passion for internal medicine, a soft spot for Doberman Pinschers, and is extremely devoted to her patients. In her free time, Dr. Shannon loves spending time with her husband, Nick Moore, and her dog, Dump Truck, who comes with her every day to the office.

Dr. Shawn Costello grew up in Woodstock, IL and has been practicing veterinary medicine since he graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in 1986. Along with Hartland Veterinary Clinic, Dr. Shawn also is co-owner of Harvard Veterinary Clinic in Harvard, IL. Dr. Shawn loves both soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, and enjoys being able to work with animals every single day. When he is not working, he loves to run out in his pasture with his “Jack Russell terrorists” and spend time with his 7 year old daughter, Catie. He also enjoys traveling, hiking in the wilderness, and photography.

Amanda started out in 2003 as a veterinary assistant working with her Bobsie twin Shannon for Dr. Shawn at the Harvard Veterinary Clinic. She worked many years in small & large animal medicine to become a veterinary technician with special interest in inpatient care, surgery and dentistry. She is happy to be reunited with both again at the Hartland Veterinary Clinic. She enjoys horseback riding and vacationing at her family’s lake house in Wisconsin. She has many fur babies including 2 small dogs named Roxy and Dolly, chickens, 4 horses and a goat.

Ashley found her career passion in working with animals big and small when she started working for Dr. Shawn and Dr. Chuck at the Harvard Veterinary Clinic in 2006. Harvard is where she first met Dr. Shannon (a fellow vet assistant at the time) and is thrilled to be working with her once again. She has two dogs and two cats; no one should be left home alone; and would love to one day have a whole menagerie. Her favorite part of working at a veterinary clinic is that making animals feel special and cared for is in the job description! When she isn’t spending time with her son, she enjoys watching movies, traveling, and shoe shopping. Ashley is also an avid sports fan and her favorite sport is hockey.

Bridgette grew up in Harvard, IL with a love of everything furry & 4-legged. She currently has three cats named: Mittens, Garfield & Ladybug – named for her obsession of collecting anything with ladybugs. She has worked for Dr. Costello & Dr. Svoboda at the Harvard Veterinary Clinic since 2012. Since beginning her work there has found the world of animal care absolutely fulfilling. She just recently joined the Hartland team, which she is finding to be quite a fun change up in routine. Bridgette’s passion for animals keeps her plenty busy, not only working in the office but also handling the kennel at the Harvard facility. When not working at either clinic, Bridgette also spends her time working with the Harvard Fire Protection District & Royal Oak Farm Orchard. On the rare occasion that she is not at work, she can be found spending her time reading, cooking (eating), enjoying time with friends & family, and cheering on her beloved sports teams (Chicago Bears & Chicago Cubs).

Cheryl has been working in veterinary medicine at Hartland Veterinary Clinic since 1998 starting for Dr. Genge and now working for Dr. Shannon and Dr. Shawn. She has handled various animals over the years including alpacas, a kangaroo, and various fur babies. She has lived in this area since 1991 with her husband and 2 dogs named MoJo and Sammy as well as 2 blue connor birds. Cheryl loves all sorts of animals and is our kennel manager that makes sure your pet is comfortable during their boarding stay. She is busy outside of work with her 5 children and 14 grandchildren, whom she loves to see very much. She is also an avid gardener and enjoys caring for her pond feeding the fish.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have been told my pet needs its teeth cleaned regularly. How important is that?

Very important! The tartar and staining on your pet’s teeth actually contains bacteria. If this is left untreated, it can cause premature periodontal disease, heart disease, liver disease and kidney failure. Dental care for your pet is very important for a long, healthy life.

What are heartworms?

Heartworms are parasites that dogs and cats can get from mosquito bites. The mosquito bites them, depositing larvae that migrate to the heart where they become adults. Despite fur, mosquitoes can still bite dogs and cats and transmit the disease. It is important to have yearly heartworm testing and keep them on a monthly preventative at home.

My pet needs to have surgery, but I am concerned about anesthesia.

There is always a risk with anesthesia, however, that risk is minimal if appropriate steps are taken before and during surgery. A thorough physical examination will be done to make sure there are no apparent abnormalities, and if there are, we will discuss better treatment protocols for your pet prior to anesthesia. We also offer in-house preoperative bloodwork. In addition, during any procedure in which anesthesia is administered, a technician will monitor your pet.
